Fig Leaves

My fig tree is starting to yield some fruit. But a lot of the leaves are turning black at the edges and will eventually turn black through and through. They look like someone took a blow torch to the edges of the leaves.

Is this a container planted tree or in the ground?
Black leaf tips can be caused by excess salts in the soil. Watering with conditioned water can cause this.
